Hillsboro Reads is a community-wide reading program which takes place each year throughout the month of October and is the library’s contribution to the city-wide Hillsboro Arts and Culture Month. The program was established in 2015 with the mission of supporting the widest portion possible of our community in reading and discussing the same book at the same time to help foster a sense of community, celebrate reading for pleasure, and promote intergenerational discussion and connection. This year’s book is Bored and Brilliant: How Spacing Out Can Unlock Your Most Productive and Creative Self by Manoush Zomorodi, which inspires readers to develop a more mindful relationship with technology.
